Courage to Proclaim the WHOLE Truth

Courage to Proclaim the WHOLE Truth




The following is an email that I sent to all of the priests of the diocese of Perugia (over 200) after our monthly meeting in May 2019.


Dear brother priests,


I was happy in our last monthly Retreat at Città della Pieve, May 8, 2019, to be able to dialogue together, freely, in order to discern the things that we do together. I would like to continue this dialogue with you. In that moment of our meeting I did not speak, but I would like to share with you some of my thoughts regarding our dialogue.


I could begin this email exactly as Saint John wrote in his second letter which we read on Friday of the seventh week of Easter:
The elder to the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the TRUTH, and not only I but also all who know the TRUTH, because of the TRUTH which abides in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in TRUTH and love. (…) For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. (…) Anyone who goes ahead and does not abide in the DOCTRINE of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the DOCTRINE has both the Father and the Son. If any one comes to you and does not bring this DOCTRINE, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting; for he who greets him shares his wicked work”.


I think that it is a good thing to be able to speak and dialogue together to decide and discern in freedom, in this case, how we want to do our monthly meetings. Pope John Paul II spoke many times about the importance of dialogue in order to seek solutions and the truth together, not the truth according to me or according to another priest but the Truth that is outside of us, from God. This is the motive of this email, which I hope we can exchange emails more frequently.


I would like to underline and give my support to what Father Paul Cherubini said at our meeting at Città della Pieve last May, to return to beginning our monthly meetings with Eucharistic adoration with confessions. I do not know if the younger priests know that for many years, as in many dioceses, we always began our monthly meeting with a half hour of adoration and confession. A year ago this was stopped without any discussion together with us priests.


But beyond the question if we want to continue to begin our monthly meeting with Eucharistic adoration, I would like to propose some questions much more fundamental for myself and for us together. In our dialogue and discernment together regarding any question, ARE WE SEEKING TO DISCOVER WHAT GOD WANTS in a certain concrete situation or what Father Joe wants, or what we want? I believe that the answer to this fundamental question was more obvious 100 years ago, but today in the atmosphere greatly pervaded by subjectivism and relativism and obstinate rebellion against all authority including God, against the Truth (“T” capital!), it is no longer obvious. The great majority of Catholics today are no longer habituated to seek what God wants in the various daily situations of life, but only ones own will. If we want to discern what God wants, for example in this case of continuing to begin our monthly meetings with adoration together with our Eucharistic Lord, a normal way to discover and discern what God wants in a concrete situation, as did all the saints, is to put before ourselves, to remember, Divine Revelation, what God has revealed through the centuries, well summarized in the documents of the Church and lived well in the lives of the saints. One sees this method to discover the will of God often in Sacred Scriptures, for example what we read in this period of Easter in the liturgy of the Mass, in the first reading of Thursday of the fourth week, how Saint Paul summarized the history of salvation in the Old Testament in order to convince the Jews that Jesus is the Messiah (Acts 13:13-25). In the first centuries of the Church, there were even wars over differences of doctrine regarding Jesus Christ and the Church. But now, so immersed in subjectivism and relativism, very few Catholic priests, bishops of lay people even care about what is true according to Divine Revelation. A year ago at lunch after our monthly meeting at Città della Pieve, a Nigerian priest, studying a Rome for the doctorate and helps out at Olmo, did not understand what is subjectivism but wanted to insinuate that I had a problem that is called “objectivism”, a word that did not exist 100 years ago which describes the problem of the few people who still believe that the objective Truth exists!!! Do we realize what one learns at Rome today for future priests?


When I read the lives of the saints, not in short booklets but longer in 200 or 300 pages, I always find, as we know, that all the saints had a great devotion and love for their Eucharistic Lord. And even one finds, in the longer biographies, that all the saints passed all their free time in church before the tabernacle. Do we believe to know more than all the saints in the history of the Church? Was the Holy Spirit mistaken for 2000 years in inspiriting the documents of the Church and the saints, and finally we have arrived, the modern church, and we no longer have to make reference to the wisdom of the Church and of her super heroes, the saints?


I REPEAT THE QUESTION: DO WE WANT TO DISCOVER WHAT GOD WANTS in this situation or what we want in our great intelligence today? Do we truly want to live what we say with our mouth in the Our Father, “THY will be done”, or do we rather live, “MY will be done”, or “the will of the COMMUNITY be done”?!? Years ago, the second question of the Catholic Catechism for children was: “Why did God create you?” As children we responded: “To know, to love and to serve God and to be happy with God in heaven forever.” For a great number of Catholics and Christians today, religion exists to serve oneself, not to “serve God”, not to help us discover God’s holy will for each of us and to help us live God’s holy will which is the best thing for each of us, since God loves us. “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, …” (Mt 6:33), not the kingdom of self or the kingdom of community or the kingdom of world or the kingdom of Satan or the kingdom of the Freemasons!


I remember more than two years ago at the annual spiritual exercises for the diocese of Perugia, that every afternoon in silence for meditation, there was a cross without the body of Christ before the altar on the steps with a spot light to illumine the cross, and behind the tabernacle was totally in the dark, where there is inside the Creator of the entire universe! Finally, after 2000 years of Church, there has arrived the most intelligent liturgists of all the centuries, who are not in agreement with what the Church proclaims: The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life”.” (Vat. II: LG 11; CCC 1324). Is the Holy Mass our property to do as we want or is the Holy Mass a precious gift from God?!? The saints of the last 2000 years never did as was done at our annual retreat.


If I go to visit a friend in his house, I want to spend time with my friend and speak with him in his house. If I go to a church, I want to spend time with the One for whom the church was built and to be with Him who is in the tabernacle, not in a tabernacle put aside in a closet or not in the center of His house, the church, except for certain exception well described in the Liturgical Books of the Church. For 2000 years the Holy Spirit has shown us that God must be at the center of the Holy Mass, not the community nor the priest! After the Second Vatican Council, how easily the priests, bishops and lay people do not obey the true and authentic Magisterium of the Church, and they continually make the exception of the rule, established by the Council found in the Liturgical Books, the rule, even to the point of not obeying any rule that is not according to what the people want according to their own minds so intelligent in their blind pride!?! They end up putting the priest or the community at the center of the Holy Mass instead of God! Today there is not lacking meeting rooms to meet together in a community. There is lacking today, more than ever, the presence of God in the world and among people! Why do they want to put aside God in the Eucharist in the churches to meet together as a community in church without God at the center?!? Do we come to church to adore God or to adore the community? To meet together it is sufficient any meeting room or even outside in nature.


A GREAT NUMBER OF PASTORS HAVE REVERSED THE PRIORITIES OF LOVE OF GOD FIRST AND THEN LOVE OF NEIGHBOR, in order to please first the people, thus they end up offering people false love, false mercy, misguided compassion and false ecumenism which leads to great harm to the souls entrusted to them by God.


The First Commandment: “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve” (Mt 4:10; Ex 20:2-5; Deut 5:6-9; CCC 2083-2141)!!!


Worship GOD” (Rev 22:9)!


A great many have REVERSED the PRIORITY of love of God and neighbor: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and FIRST commandment. And a SECOND is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mt 22:37-38)! Saint Augustine described well these two points of view reciprocally exclusive in his famous book, “The City of God”!


The love of God comes first in the order of command, but the love of neighbor first in the order of action. The man who would teach you this love in two commandments should not commend to you first your neighbor and then God, but first God and then your neighbor” (St. Augustine’s Treatises on St. John; January 3, Office of Readings).


The Antichrist will conquer many people by saying: “You can do all that you like... it is enough to love each other...” - Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179; Doctor of the Church)


Many Catholic groups do not obey the Liturgical Books and thus do not normally celebrate the Holy Mass on a consecrated altar but on a normal table, and speak of the Mass in the language that one finds in the writings of Martin Luther but not as one reads in the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults: “At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the EUCHARISTIC SACRIFICE of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the SACRIFICE OF THE CROSS throughout the ages until he should come again …” (CCC 1323).


Just as Satan desires, a great number of Catholics HAVE SLOWLY LOST THE FAITH in the real presence of Christ Jesus in the EUCHARIST, as did the Protestants centuries ago. In the Old Testament God prescribed to Moses the great reverence due to the Arc of the Covenant, but the Eucharist is infinitely greater and more important than the Arc of the Covenant!!! Have the modern liturgists forgotten this?!? Why this rebellion against God?!? I find it very interesting that in the whole Bible there is only one verse with the number of the beast, 666 (Rev 13:18), that is, John 6:66, when “many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him” due to Jesus’ teaching on the Eucharist!!! Above all what is “RESTRAINING” the manifestation of the “man of lawlessness” (2Thess 2:2-6; Mt 24:15) is above all the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist in all the public churches of the world (“the continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), will be taken away) even if the great majority of Catholics have already lost the faith in the real and personal presence of Jesus in the Eucharist ! (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/the-eucharist-in-catacombs.html)!


Do we trust God or ourselves? Did God give us the Ten Commandments and the Church to guide us to our true good or for our evil? Spoiled arrogant capricious children do not believe that their parents give them rules of their house for their true good; they do not trust their parents nor God, but only themselves! A very particular grace for our times was that of the Divine Mercy, revealed to Saint Faustina: “JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU!”


In all four Gospels, one finds only one time that Jesus said to “learn from me”! “Learn from me; for I am gentle and HUMBLE of heart” (Mt 11:29-30).


If a person does not have humility, as the saints tell us, GOD IS NOT PRESENT with that person and there is spiritual blindness! Do we believe that we are the modern church and thus we no longer have to learn from Divine Revelation throughout time and from the saints because we are more intelligent than everyone of the past? Does the truth come from God or from the Church? Is the Church the handmaid of the truth or the Author of the truth? Can the Church change or invent the truth? Does God have to change according to the world or does the world have to change according to God?


This is the situation today: the Truth of God is not longer important!!! Where will we end up without the ANCHOR OF THE TRUTH OF GOD which does not change with the world??? If we no longer make reference to the law of God, those who have more power and money to control the mass media and the schools and the religions and the governments, where will they lead us???


According to many priests and bishops today, Saint Pope Pius X was a big idiot by condemning MODERNISM, as we heard in our meeting in December (2018), and we are all enlightened today in the new modern Church!?! The fundamental implication of modernism is subjectivism and relativism, that is, each person decides the truth and morals, not God, Who is the objective immutable Truth (Jn 14:6)! A more hidden and dangerous form of relativism is: God is always in agreement with me! We are finally free from this superfluous Being, God; we are God!!! And Saint Michael the archangel says to us today as he said at the beginning of creation to Lucifer and his followers: “Who is like unto God?” At least the first protestants left the Church 400 years ago; today a great number of protestants in the Church do not have the courage to found a new church based on their truths of modernism, so they stay in the Church to change the Church according to the great intelligence they think they possess!!! All the true reformers had true and profound humility and thus they became instruments of God not of themselves!!!


When we reject the guidance of the Church, do we believe to be enlightened by God or by ourselves? I too was in my second to the last year of high school when there was the rebellion of ’68 in many universities of USA and of Europe. Certainly many leaders are not virtuous. But how did the TRUE SAINTS confront this situation of priests, bishops, cardinals, popes, or kings or governments and even with one’s own husband when there was greatly lacking true Christian virtues? Did they do as those who want to rebel and command, or did they pray and make sacrifices for their conversion, as did Jesus on the cross?!? Vocations come from God, not from the world or from men. When people rebel against the legitimate authority, in truth they rebel against God, and thus they lose the protection of God in particular in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21)!!! Even Jesus recognized the authority of Pilate: “You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above” (Jn 19:11). Do those who rebel believe that after they are in power all will be better; do they believe that they are more capable of treating people justly as one reads in the Gospel? But how is this possible if their base of action, their real motive, is rebellion instead of loving God and neighbor in truth not in falsehood?!? In that place where everyone wants to rebel and to command, that is hell, is there justice and peace?!? According to Satan and Hitler, yes, but not according to the One who created our very being.


Judas Iscariot wanted to use Jesus in order to create a revolution against the Romans. How many pastors today seek to use religion for similar motives as that of Judas Iscariot? The only concern of many pastors is exclusively directed toward social problems, and they forget that Jesus died on the Cross and rose again to obtain for us the great gift of redemption and to save souls. And thus the teaching of the THEOLOGY OF LIBERATION, which is a true betrayal of Christ and of his Gospel, is becoming more and more widespread. From the gospels, we know the true motive of Judas Iscariot, even though the apostles at the time of the passion and crucifixion of Jesus did not understand the true motive of Judas Iscariot. And so, in this period of the passion and crucifixion of the Body of Christ (CCC 675-677), most people do not understand or realize the true motive of the very numerous Judas Iscariots, that is the priests and bishop traitors, in the Church today!


Did things go better after the FRENCH REVOLUTION, or after the COMMUNIST E SOCIALISTIC REVOLUTION in Russia and in other countries??? Do things go better for the wife and children when the wife does not do as did Saint Monica and all the holy wives in the history of the Church? That which Pope Leo XIII, a former bishop of Perugia, wrote in his encyclical, RERUM NOVARUM (1891), was all stupid, since it showed the great dangers of socialism? Or the encyclical of Pope John Paul II, CENTESIMUS ANNUS (1991)? Those who say that these encyclicals are stupid, did they have the courage to read these documents and then explain why these documents are stupid or why certain phrase or paragraphs and not in harmony with Divine Revelation from the history of salvation?!? Or did they want only what they want and nothing else matters as do immature people? We heard in our monthly meeting in February 2019: “But you and I, we are the same age. Do you remember ’68? He said that in ’68 there was a slogan: ‘Continual struggle!’ Do you remember that the Christian life is a continual struggle?” How different is the meaning of this slogan of ’68, “continual struggle” and the “DOUR COMBAT with the powers of evil, (CCC 409)?!? One is a struggle against the legitimate authority as do spoiled arrogant capricious children against their parents and the other is a combat against the powers of evil!?! It seems that we do not want to do as Jesus before Pilate, the legitimate authority, and accept the crucifixion for the redemption of the world!?! How many of us have remained spoiled arrogant capricious children all our lives, and we do not want to ever mature and progress toward true love and true humility?!? Do I command, or do we let God command in our lives and in our Church and society?


POPE JOHN PAUL II (among many other occasions) SPOKE FIRMLY TO THE US BISHOPS AGAINST THIS "PICK AND CHOOSE SMORGASBORD TYPE CATHOLICISM" in LA in his September 1987 visit: "It is sometimes reported that a large number of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting the Church's clear position on abortion. It has also been noted that there is a tendency on the part of some Catholics to be selective in their adherence to the Church's moral teachings. It is sometimes claimed that DISSENT FROM THE MAGISTERIUM is totally compatible with being a “good Catholic” and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. THIS IS A GRAVE ERROR that challenges the teaching office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. I wish to encourage you in the love of Christ to address this situation courageously in your pastoral ministry, relying on the power of God's truth to attract assent and on the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given both to those who proclaim the message and to those to whom it is addressed." (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1987/september/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19870916_vescovi-stati-uniti_en.html).


It is interesting that Pope John Paul II did NOT say to the bishops that they must obey ME as Pope, BUT “dissent from the MAGISTERIUM” of the Catholic Church! Lumen Gentium 25 teaches clearly that the documents of an ecumenical council ARE INFALLIBLE (CCC 891). The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 888-892) tell us that the doctrines of the Church are essential to arrive to sanctity. “When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine “for belief as being divinely revealed,” and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions “must be adhered to with the obedience of faith.” This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself” (CCC 891). But to the ordinary teaching of the Church “the faithful are to adhere to it with religious assent” which, though distinct from the assent of faith, is nonetheless an extension of it” (CCC 892). Thus the documents in an ecumenical council express in human language the absolute truths which cannot be changed, EVEN BY A FUTURE POPE FOR APPARENTLY GOOD MOTIVES TO MAKE THE NON CATHOLICS FEEL MORE AT EASE or for non practicing Catholics or for Catholics who want to change things; this would be false ecumenism, false mercy, false love, which offers a superficial and easy solution without the cross of Jesus, but afterwards there is slavery and destruction!


WE LEARN FROM HISTORY that we do not learn from history” - Georg Hegel. “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it” – George Stantayana.
To be deep in history is the cease to be protestant” – Cardinal Blessed John Henry Newman.


But DO WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO PROTEST AGAINST AUTHORITY THAT COMES FROM GOD now and for all eternity? We are free and thus God does not force anyone to be with Him now and or all eternity. God does not send anyone to hell. If I command instead of letting God command in my life, it is I who freely chose now and after death to not want to be with God, because I am in charge. But if all those who want to command go in the same place for eternity, who commands in that place? The one who is the strongest, who is called Satan! I prefer to be with God for eternity instead of with Satan for eternity. I prefer to be in a benevolent dictatorship instead of a malevolent dictatorship for all eternity! Also here on earth, while more and more people want to command instead of doing the will of God, it ends up that the stronger and more sly ones command the others, as it is said: “Might makes right!” Spoiled arrogant capricious children believe that after they succeed in getting rid of the parents and they are in power everything will be much better!?! But who will work in order to maintain the house and food on the table and the things that come from the common good of the society?


Dear brothers, courage, do not be afraid, as Saint John Paul II said many times. “Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear” - St. Catherine of Siena! Jesus says to each one of us: “EVERYONE WHO ACKNOWLEDGES ME BEFORE MEN, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God” (Lk 12:8-9). And thus, “Everyone who acknowledges the TRUTH before men, …” as did Saint Athanasius and all the saints, even when many bishops were on the wrong side, “the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God”! Just as for Saint Athanasius, all of the saints were treated as Jesus was treated, especially by members and leaders of the Church, but they did not abandon the Church like Martin Luther and the protestants, or condemn the Church as do the schismatic traditionalists, or become modernist to protest and destroy the Church from within without any respect for Divine Revelation or the authentic Magisterium of the Church. “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you” (Jn 15:20). “The world would love its own” (Jn 15:19).


There is no COWARD in heaven! One finds many coward priests and bishops in the history of the Church! With the Eucharist and Confession, with the help of the Mother of God, with her Holy Rosary, there is the strength to be able to follow Jesus all the way, even to Calvary with Jesus and all the true saints! But if we do not have the humility to maintain proper reverence due to God in the Eucharist nor the humility to pray every day the Holy Rosary, we will not have the grace of God to follow Jesus and the saints with the cross, all the way to Calvary and then heaven.


Dear fellow priest brothers, we must find from our Eucharistic Lord the courage to PROCLAIM THE WHOLE TRUTH, even if it costs the esteem before others, our financial income, and our life. Jesus Christ was a priest on the cross 2000 years ago. The Holy Mass is “the SACRIFICE OF THE CROSS throughout the ages until he should come again …” (CCC 1323). Christ was not only a priest on the cross, but also a victim! Do we as priests want to follow Christ only as priest and not as victim?!?


To the servant who receive only one talent and did nothing, the Master used words that are seldom found in the four Gospels: “You WICKED and slothful servant!” (Mt 25:26). Sometimes we call people foolish or crazy or even sinful. But seldom do we call anyone wicked. Why did our Lord call this man wicked? He wasn’t a thief; he did not steal the money he had; it was given to him honestly. Neither was he a spendthrift like the Prodigal’s Son (Lk 15); he could have gone off into a far country with a sizable amount of money he had and lived foolishly. He did not. Neither was he a liar; he could have fabricated some story about the money being stolen; how he had made more money but some thief came and took it all away. No! He was not a liar. Then why was he called wicked? BECAUSE HE DID NOTHING! If we pastors do not do our fundamental work of protecting the sheep from the beautiful lies and half truths of the wolf, which we hear very often today in the Church with beautiful words, what will God the Father say to us at our death? We studied philosophy and theology precisely to be able to protect the sheep from the very intelligent wolf who never sleeps, to be able to distinguish between the beautiful lies and the truth, and in order to warn the sheep about the great danger of half truths! Today at least the majority of the pastors not only do not protect the sheep but they themselves embrace and promote the beautiful lies and half truths of the wolf which is the easiest way! Do we have the courage to lay “down his life for the sheep” as does the good Shepherd (Jn 10:11)? In the time of Saint Athanasius, the majority of the bishops did not believe in the divinity of Jesus! Do we believe that it will be less difficult in this period of the great apostasy (2Thess 2:3)?!? Dear brother priests, the easier philosophy of life, that does not lead to heaven, and is followed by the great majority of people today is: “Ignorance is bliss”! A nice lie of Satan, very common today is, heaven is automatic or hell does not exist!


Cardinal Sarah Endorses the “Notes” of Pope Benedict, “MARTYR FOR THE TRUTH


DO WE REALIZE, OR DO WE NOT WANT TO REALIZE, that we are the generation (Mt 24:34) of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21) of which Jesus spoke about, when “if possible, even the elect” (Mt 24:24) will be led astray. Do we realize, or do we not want to realize, that it is our generation of the great apostasy of which Saint Paul wrote about in 2 Thess ch. 2. Do we realize, or do we not want to realize, that the Body of Christ, the Church, will pass through the passion and crucifixion, as did Jesus 2000 years ago, in this period (CCC 675-677; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P1V.HTM)? Do we realize, or do we not want to realize, how far away the people in the Church are from the Truth and from living the Truth, according to the Gospel explained by the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults, not according to the subjectivism and relativism of each person or according to Martin Luther? “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary; to one without faith, no explanation is possible” – St. Thomas Aquinas.


In the name of (false) love and (false) mercy, today it is not politically correct in the Church to speak about sin, even though our Savior came above all to free us from sin! When the Holy Spirit comes, “he will convince the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment: of sin …” (Jn 16:8). Today there is great pressure to not speak about sin as something against charity! But true charity and true mercy is to help people to arrive to eternal happiness which cannot be done if one is not “convinced of sin”, in order to realize that we need the “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”, that we find in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which is not longer frequented because the pastors no longer explain and speak about sin in the name of (false) love and (false) mercy!?!


Saint Louis de Montfort, in his book “True Devotion to Mary”, explains to us in this period of time there is A GREAT FUNDAMENTAL SEPARATION among men, between those with true humility and true charity in the cohort of Our Lady and all the rest in the cohort of Satan.


Without humility and much sincere prayer, ONE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEAUTIFUL LIES AND THE TRUTH, between half truths and the whole integral truth.


WHEN A PERSON BECOMES USED TO not seeking the Truth from God but rather what he wants or what his friends want, what happens? He no longer understands or distinguishes the difference between the Truth (of God, “T” capital!) and the beautiful lies, of the very numerous followers of Satan in particular in the Church today, presented as if they were the Truth!


"… because THEY REFUSED TO LOVE THE TRUTH and so be saved. Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but HAD PLEASURE IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." (2Thess 2:10-12).


I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the issue of these things?” He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; AND NONE OF THE WICKED SHALL UNDERSTAND; BUT THOSE WHO ARE WISE SHALL UNDERSTAND” (Dan 12:8-10).


I was the confessor for the last four years of a holy religious diocesan sister, SISTER PAOLA MEZZETTI, fourth oldest among six children from a religious family; her father was a fisherman at Lake Trasimeno. From the beginning of her consecrated life she offered her life for priests and bishops, knowing that there were many bishops in Masonry. She offered catechism classes in many parishes of the diocese of Perugia and cultivated a community (“Queen of Victories and Mother of Renewal”) around her, one of which became a priest. One day before she died a few from this group came to visit her. Sister Paola did not respond being very sick. At a certain point, she spoke her last words, not with a sickly voice but with her normal clear voice and said:
We must pray to God that He gives us the discernment of the Holy Spirit in order to recognize the antichrist, so that none of us might kneel before him, but that all of us might seek the true Christ!”
(Last exhortation of Sister Paola, March 17, 2019, as if inspired …; born March 13, 1937; died March 18, 2019.)


At our monthly meetings of the diocese for the permanent formation of the clergy (March 2017, on Amoris Laetita), in the small groups, I asked why is it that we hear only half of the truth, about mercy, but not the other part of the truth. Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI said and wrote many times: “ONLY WHAT IS TRUE CAN ULTIMATELY BE PASTORAL”! At a certain point a priest of over 70 years tried to convince me about mercy citing the passage of the Gospel about the adulteress. After he stopped talking I asked him, why is it that you did not say anything to us about the words of Jesus at the end of this passage, that is, “Go and sin no more”? I said to him, and before the other priests present in our group, that A HALF TRUTH IS WORSE THAN A LIE, because one believes to have received “the WHOLE TRUTH, and nothing but the truth” (as is said in civil court rooms). Similarly the saints tell us that sins of omission are worse than sins of commission! I said that at the Angelus on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, with the Gospel of the adulteress (Jn 8:1-11), Pope Francis did not mention the traditional theme (cf. “Messale dell’Assemblea Cristiana; Centro Catechistico Salesiano; Editori: ELLE DI CI) that has been given to this Gospel passage: “GO AND SIN NO MORE”! (“Angelus Domini 2016.03.13”; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPNMk1N5ypc; https://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/angelus/2016/documents/papa-francesco_angelus_20160313.html). Another older priest in our group, during this rather lively debate woke up, and he helped us remember what we studied in pastoral theology that the recent popes, in the world today, put us on our guard not so much about the lack of applying the “LAW OF GRADUALITY” but rather the great danger of the “GRADUALITY OF THE LAW”, which must be refuted in as much as it reduces the value of the law to a mere ideal (cfr. Esortazione Familiaris Consortio (1981), n. 34, 9; Humanae Vitae (1968), no. 28). (“The True Easter! - Good Pastors or Mercenary Pastors?; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/05/the-true-easter.html).


We are living in a world more full of falsehoods than ever before - beautiful deadly lies from “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44), presented as if they were the truth, hidden destructive deceptions - such as the devil, hell and sin no longer exist!!! The great majority of the pastors today “are all DUMB DOGS, they cannot bark” (Is 56:10) to warn the sheep of the very sly wolf, Satan! These poor pastors, who seek to please men instead of God (Jn 5:44; Mt 6:1-6, 16-18; Gal 1:10), offer misguided compassion and half truths (which are worse than lies!), especially to speak only about mercy without “GO AND SIN NO MORE” (Jn 8:11; 5:14)! Our Lady continually asks us to pray for priests and bishops!


POPE ST. GREGORY THE GREAT tells us (Office of Readings; Sunday, Week 27 of OT):
Negligent religious leaders are often afraid to speak freely and say what needs to be said – for fear of losing favor with people. As Truth himself says, they are certainly not guarding their flock with the care expected of a shepherd but are acting like hirelings, because hiding behind a wall of silence is like taking flight at the approach of the wolf. These are the people whom the Lord is reproaching through the prophet, when he says: ‘They are all DUMB DOGS, they cannot bark’ (Is 56:10) … If a religious leader is afraid to say what is right, what else can his silence mean but that he has taken flight? Whereas, if he stand firm in defense of his flock, he is building up a wall for the house of Israel against its enemies. And so again the sinful people are told: ‘Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you; they have not exposed your iniquity in order to provoke you to repentance.’ (Lam 2:14) …”


SAINT AUGUSTINE tells us (Office of Readings, Week 24 OT, Sunday):
FOR IF I SPEAK MY OWN OPINIONS, I SHALL BE A SHEPHERD FEEDING MYSELF NOT MY SHEEP; but if what I say is His, it is he who feeds you, no matter who is speaking. ‘Thus says the Lord God, Ho, shepherds of Israel, who have been feeding yourselves! Should not shepherds feed the sheep?’ (Ezek 34:2). That is, shepherds feed not themselves but their sheep.


WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FEW PRIESTS AND BISHOPS TODAY who do their fundamental work, to identify and cure, as spiritual doctors, the gravest sicknesses of the souls, mortal sins? THE PRIESTS TODAY WHO PREACH THE WHOLE GOSPEL and all of the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church are labeled ridged and old-fashioned, insensitive, lacking in compassion, divisive, judgmental, moralists. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE ONES WHO MAINTAIN A CULPABLE SILENCE, the ones who tell their people what they think they want to hear are seen as understanding, sympathetic, pastorally sensitive and merciful. “Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets” (Lk 6:26). “For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” (Jn 12:43). “How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?” (Jn 5:44; Gal 1:10). But this way of doing is not true mercy! THIS IS FALSE LOVE, MISGUIDED COMPASSION, false mercy, false ecumenism, that does not lead to paradise for all eternity!?!


We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29) for our salvation and for the true good of souls!


WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF A DOCTOR WHO CARED NOTHING ABOUT DISEASE and sends home the patients with grave sicknesses saying to not to worry because THE DOCTOR DOES NOT WANT TO SCARE OR UPSET THE PATIENT. Such doctors would be called quacks, incompetents, guilty of gross professional negligence; they would be sued for malpractice. But if priests do not speak about the only thing that can kill the soul, mortal sin, because the people (spiritual patients) do not want to hear these things, what would we think about such priests? If the doctor acts in this way, the person could lose his life; but if the doctor of souls, the priest, does like this, the person could lose his immortal which last for all eternity!


Today seminarians are taught to mistrust all Marian apparitions, which the Masonic bishops of the Catholic Church were ordered to do by the Grand Master of the Freemasons (No. 26; The Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/masonic-plan.html).
In October 2014 Mons. Paolo Giulietti wrote to me (“The Hidden Broad Road to Perdition”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/05/road-perdition.html):
3) You cite the bible and the CCC, but you also cite prophecies and private revelations. These things do not regard the faith and cannot be imposed on anyone! Do not cause confusion, neither in the preaching, nor in your head.”
Among other things I responded to Mons. Giulietti:
Regarding private revelations, Saint Thomas tells usat all times there have not been lacking persons having the spirit of prophecy, not indeed for the declaration of any new doctrine of faith, but for the direction of human acts” (Summas Theologica II –II q174 a6 reply 3; see also Amos 3:7).
Our Lady revealed to Father Stefano Gobbi (02-09-1985; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/): “Darkness, with A THICK, COLD FOG, has entered the Church, obscuring it in the splendor of its truth. For this reason, every day, my word is forming you to the spirit of wisdom, that you may always see, in the light, the truth which my Son has taught you and proclaim it with courage to all in its integrity.”
With pride there comes always spiritual blindness!
Pope John Paul II went to Fatima three times! Pope Benedict one time. But if one believes like these critics, then why are the Marian apparitions multiplying as a sign of our times as Cardinal Ratzinger indicated in the book “Report on the Faith” (1985)?
Why did Pope Benedict XVI in his homily, at Esplanade of the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima; before 500,000 people (13 May 2010), say:
WE WOULD BE MISTAKEN TO THINK THAT FATIMA’S PROPHETIC MISSION IS COMPLETE. …
I think my Auxiliary Bishop should tell Pope Benedict and Pope John Paul II the same thing he wrote to me! “3) You cite the bible and the CCC, but you also cite prophecies and private revelations. These things do not regard the faith and cannot be imposed on anyone! Do not cause confusion, neither in the preaching, nor in your head.”


Our Lady through Don Stefano Gobbi told us (June 13, 1989; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/):
Jesus is the Truth because it is He - the living Word - who is the font and seal of all divine revelation. And so ecclesiastical Masonry works to obscure his divine word, by means of natural and rational interpretations and, IN THE ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT MORE UNDERSTANDABLE AND ACCEPTABLE, EMPTIES IT OF ALL ITS SUPERNATURAL CONTENT. Thus errors are spread in every part of the Catholic Church itself. Because of the spread of these errors, many are moving away today from the true faith, bringing to fulfillment the prophecy which was given to you by me at Fatima: `The times will come when many will lose the true faith.' The loss of the faith is apostasy. Ecclesiastical Masonry works, in a subtle and diabolical way, to lead all into apostasy.”


A fervid communist, Bella Dodd, helped to get in the Catholic seminaries more than a thousand men to destroy the Church from within; four of these were already cardinals 12 years before the Second Vatican Council. Afterwards, under the guidance of Archbishop Fulton Sheen she became Catholic in 1952. This is only one example among many.


How many priests and bishops today, for the true good of their flock, have the courage to imitate the saints and the prophets and say as SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST, the “greatest born of women” (Mt 11:11), said to king Herod: “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife” (Mk 6:18)? John the Baptist said that Jesus “must increase, but I must decrease” (Jn 3:30). A great number of priests today want to increase before people and thus are not transparent so as to lead people to Christ, the Truth (Jn 14:6), but rather to themselves! So many religious leaders and parents seek to please the people without distinguishing and determining if it is a sin or not, if it truly does good to the person or not, today and tomorrow and for eternity! This is false and destructive love; this is misguided compassion! Few religious leaders today have the COURAGE OF THE FIRST POPE, PETER, the day of the birth of the Church, Pentecost, to say: “You have crucified Jesus” (Acts 4:10), “the author of life” (Acts 3:15), with your grave, mortal sins!


How many times during the Mass do we say: “Lamb of God who takes away the SINS of the world”? If there is no longer sin, we do not need a Savior who came above all to free us from sin. If the priest never speaks about sin and about the consequences of mortal sin, people no longer come to confess their sins because their spiritual doctor did not help them to realize they have this mortal sickness. Exorcists tell us that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is more powerful to drive away the devil than an exorcism, because Confession is a Sacrament, exorcism is a sacramental!


For some of the young priests who were not with us more than four years ago:
Over three years ago a priest in our diocese committed suicide. Our Cardinal decided to put aside the topic of our monthly meeting to talk about this. Many younger priests lamented at that time the lack of support by the Cardinal. I then spoke before the more than 100 priests present with the Cardinal and told them that I took the advice of Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen 14 years ago to spend more than an hour every day in church before our Eucharistic Lord in the tabernacle. From that time on, even though I live alone, I never felt any loneliness whatsoever. I told them that when I suggested this practice to at least 20 priests in our diocese, all of them said that they did not have time. I responded to them that if I do not spend at least one hour with Jesus in the Eucharist every day, I end up offering to people a poor priest, Father Joe, instead of offering them Jesus Christ. I also said to the priests and cardinal of Perugia that we forget so easily what we say during the liturgy of Ash Wednesday, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return”, and we priests think we are the savior of the parish instead of Jesus Christ! The saints spent as much time as possible on their knees before our Eucharistic Lord but today one hears often in the Church and in the seminaries that “priests should not waste time in adoration, since they are not monks”! Today “the heresy of action” is frightfully spreading quickly in which there easily predominates the “devil of organization” (Pope Pius XII), while our union with Jesus and Mary diminishes and the true spiritual fruits diminish accordingly!


A few years ago I conducted a meeting of formation with the catechists and others in the parish of Magione. In this meeting I made reference several times to the CCC. After the meeting, the catechists of this Parish asked me, WHAT IS THIS BOOK, THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FOR ADULTS? When I talked about this to Father Luke D., who came from the diocese to form the catechists in various parishes, also in this parish, he responded: “It is not my fault, but the fault of the Pastor.” But this means that Father Luke D. never made reference to this precious gift of the CCC for adults! At one of our monthly retreats with the clergy of the diocese, after having told this to Father Luke B., I asked him if these priests, who form the catechists of the diocese, represent themselves or represent the Catholic Church! Father Luke B. did not answer me.


But if we open our eyes we will discover that today IT IS ENCOURAGED AND PROMOTED EVERYWHERE IN THE CHURCH TO NEVER MAKE REFERENCE TO DIVINE REVELATION, what God has revealed throughout the centuries, well summarized in the documents of the Church and well lived in the lives of the saints!!! Those who remain faithful to Divine Revelation are SILENCED!


Papa Francesco chose Enzo Bianchi to lead the World Retreat for Priests at Ars, France, from September 24 to 29, 2018! How can one give such an important assignment and uplift such a person, giving to him almost as an example to follow? Enzo Bianchi is a heretic! In many of his interventions and articles he taunts the bimillenary doctrine of the Catholic faith with immense arrogance and ignorance. Enzo Bianchi among other things said: “Christ didn't say anything about homosexuality, therefore the Church should remain silent!” Do you understand what it means “the Church should remain silent!”? Two thousand years of history, of study of the Sacred Scriptures, of Tradition, of Magisterium of more than 250 Popes, thousands of lives of the Saints, Doctors and Teachers of the Church, philosophers and Catholic scientists have had the order from Enzo Bianchi to shut up!
Naturally also in the specific material of homosexuality, Bianchi lies.
Jesus said: “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an IOTA, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished” (Mt 5:17-18; 24,35). If one goes to look at, for example, the Law, one realizes that there exist words of terrible condemnation and without appeal for homosexuality put in practice (Gen 19:23 and following; Lev 18:22 and 20:13). But admitting but not conceding what Bianchi has said, one would have to deduct that, since Jesus in the Gospel does not speak neither of incest, pedophilia, sex with animals, for Bianchi all of this would be allowed. Do we understand the havoc that could be arrived at with such reasoning?
Enzo Bianchi: "Christ Didn't Say Anything About Homosexuality, Therefore the Church Should Remain Silent" (September 28, 2015; http://eponymousflower.blogspot.com/2015/09/enzo-bianchi-christ-didnt-say-anything.html).


The Apostate layman Enzo Bianchi who has proclaimed himself "prior" is the founder of the sect: 'ecumenical monastic community of Bose' in Northwest Italy. This heretic community was founded in 1965 the day after Vatican II ended. The abolition of the priesthood, where the Layman Enzo Bianchi fulfills the functions of the priest. Enzo Bianchi builds the false church without dogmas without hierarchy.” (http://4christum.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-heretic-modernist-patrice.html).


The Jesuit Father James Martin declared that “the Catechism KILLS homosexuals” because it pushes then to suicide! (in Italian: https://cronicasdepapafrancisco.com/2018/11/09/la-chiesa-di-bergoglio-un-tana-libera-tutti-ma-non-e-un-gioco/)! With this same logic, Jesus kills sinners because He pushes them to suicide because Jesus said: “Go and sin no more” (Jn 8:11; 5:14)!?!?!


Contrast this declaration of James Martin with WHAT JESUS SAYS:


When the disciples “were amazed at His words”, and even “exceedingly astonished”, at the beginning of their walk with Christ, Jesus did not offer false and empty and destructive compromises as so many leaders in the Church today are offering to the numerous gullible “Christians” as we see on TV. But rather Jesus said: “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God” (Mk 10:23-27). How many people and soldiers were willing to do whatever Hitler asked them to do without question or without opening their eyes as to what was really going on?!? It will not be different in this period of time when “even the elect” (Mt 24:24) will be led astray!


Fr James Martin Blasphemes the HOLY ROSARY”


PAPA FRANCESCO HA DATO IL MICROFONO A PADRE JAMES MARTIN all’Incontro Mondiale delle Famiglie, in Dublino, Irlanda!
Padre James Martin «provoca scandalo ovunque vada», dice per esempio a LifeSiteNews, Austin Ruse, presidente del Centro per la famiglia e i diritti umani. «Egli dice di non sfidare l’insegnamento della Chiesa, tuttavia afferma che l’omosessualità non è disordinata ma semplicemente ordinata in modo diverso, e così facendo confonde i giovani». Anche padre James Martin, il gesuita noto per le sue posizioni pro LGBT, sarà fra i relatori al prossimo Incontro mondiale delle famiglie, in programma il 25 e 26 agosto a Dublino, Irlanda, con la partecipazione di papa Francesco. (http://www.aldomariavalli.it/2018/06/12/a-dublino-un-microfono-per-padre-james-martin/).


POPE FRANCIS GAVE THE MICROPHONE TO FATHER JAMES MARTIN at the World Meeting of Families, Dublin, Ireland!
May 4, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Young men and women being misled by pro-LGBT Jesuit priest Father James Martin are at risk of “stepping into a life that will only lead to heartache, sometimes disease, sometimes death, [and] even damnation,” according to international pro-life leader Austin Ruse. (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-life-leader-father-james-martin-puts-young-people-at-risk-of-damnation). Also Father James Martin, the Jesuit noted for his pro LGBT positions, will be among the speakers at the World Meeting of Families, Dublin, Ireland, August 25-26, 2018, with the participation of Pope Francis. (in Italian: http://www.aldomariavalli.it/2018/06/12/a-dublino-un-microfono-per-padre-james-martin/).


Contrast this with the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding HOMOSEXUALITY IN THE CATECHISM of the Catholic Church (CCC 2357-2359; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P85.HTM).


Abate Ildebrand Scicolone, OSB, blasoned liturgists and fixed guest for the weekly liturgies of the CEI, who goes around Italy to teach the catechists, said: “If one does not believe that there is the body of Christ in a Host, in reality you eat only bread, the sacrament does not arrive but not only in the sense that it is not arrived at in the sacrament, but also that in that bread there is not Jesus” (“IF ONE DOES NOT BELIEVE”!?!?!)! The presence of Jesus in the EUCHARIST does not depend on what a human being thinks or believes; it depends on God!?!?! Have we totally lost the faith, and there are no bishops to protect the sheep from the wolves such as Abate Ildebrand Scicolone, OSB?!?!? There is nothing new under the sun; most protestants have had similar beliefs for centuries! The pastors are forced (by Card. Vallini) to buy the so-called “The Eucharist Makes the Church” ("L'Eucarestia fà la Chiesa") (edited by Abate Scicolone, OSB), which is full of liturgical inaccuracies and doctrinal errors, that MUST be given to each catechist!


We find in this new catechism A REDUCTION OF THE EUCHARISTIC REALISM, to consider, that is, the Eucharist almost as only a rite of communion, of socialization, forgetting very easily that in the Eucharist there is truly present Christ risen – with his risen Body.


The Eucharistic doctrine of Scicolone is perfectly super imposable to that of Kiko and Carmen (NEOCATECUMENAL WAY), since the liturgist that was his teacher is of the same school of the innovators of the post councilors that greatly impressed the young Carmen. Compare Scicolone’s teaching aid with the catechism on the Eucharist that Kiko and Carmen hold during the Retreat of the Amen (Convivenza dell'Amen), at the end of the initial catechism. One does not find any difference: the substitution of the dogmas of Faith in the Redemption and in the expiatory-propitiatory Sacrifice of Christ with the Father, with the Pasqual mystery of passage from death to life of the Lord, which makes them say that it is not with the Holocaust of Christ on the Cross by which we are saved, but only with His resurrection from the dead. Because of this the Mass is no longer an all-consuming contemplation-adoration of the offering of Love of a God who is consumed for us, to which we unite our little personal cross, but it becomes a jolly festive banquet of the remembrance of Easter, that draws everyone from death to life (without any importance given to how much this giving of life to us cost Jesus.). Visit: “Neocatecumenal Way - a Trojan Horse in the Church” (http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2018/07/neocatecumenal-way-trojan-horse-in.html).


CONTRAST THIS WITH THE TEACHINGS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH regarding the Most Holy Eucharist in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1356-1381; http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P41.HTM).


WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THE SAINTS REGARDING THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT?


I will not allow myself to be so absorbed in the whirlwind of work as to forget about God. I will spend all my free moments at the feet of the Master hidden in the Blessed Sacrament. He has been tutoring me from my most tender years” (Diary of St. Faustina, no. 82).


I find myself so weak that were it not for Holy Communion I would fall continually. One thing alone sustains me, and that is Holy Communion. From it I draw my strength; in it is all my comfort. I fear life on days when I do not receive Holy Communion. I fear my own self. Jesus concealed in the Host is everything to me. From the tabernacle I draw strength, power, courage and light. Here, I seek consolation in time of anguish. I would not know how to give glory to God if I did not have the Eucharist in my heart” (Diary of St. Faustina, no. 1037).


Visit: “The Marvelous Value of the Holy Mass!” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2009/08/marvelous-value-of-holy-mass.html).


In recent years, how often have we heard in the Church EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what the saints say regarding the Holy Eucharist?!?


I often say in the parishes in my homilies: “If you do not do what you learned as children for first holy communion, to go to confession monthly, Sunday Mass and the Holy Rosary everyday with your heart, you put in great jeopardy your eternal salvation. If you do not have time for Jesus every day, you will not have time for Jesus for all eternity. God does not send anyone to hell; a great number of people do not want to be with God – I AM IN CHARGE, NOT GOD! Without this minimum of prayer, one does not understand the difference, especially today, the difference between the beautiful lies and the Truth of God; it is not a question of intelligence, but of grace! The beautiful lies, such as the devil, hell and sin no longer exist, are always easier than the Truth of God with the cross of Christ!” Visit: “Judgment Heaven Hell Eternity Fatima” (https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/05/judgment-heaven-hell-eternity-fatima.html).


I end by repeating the importance of dialogue together to seek what God wants while looking at Divine Revelation explained by the Church that Jesus founded. If I feel the truth comes from me, I am willing to dialogue ONLY with those in agreement with me, as do all the dictators in the history of the world! HITLER BURNED ALL THE BOOKS that could help people to open their eyes to the truth and to the deception of the Third Reich. Hitler killed as many of the intellectuals as possible, those who were capable of understanding the deception and then to communicate well this deception to others. A question: Why was there no dialogue with the four cardinals who wrote the “Dubia” (November 2016) which indicated a fundamental break between 2000 years of Magisterium of the Church and ‘Amoris Laetitia’? Why were the copies of the book, “Remaining in the Truth of Christ”, in defense of marriage, by five cardinals, stolen from the private mailboxes of each participant at the Synod on the Family (October 2014)?!? “SYNODGATE – Five Cardinals Book stolen from participants’ mailboxes at last year’s Synod on Family” (http://wdtprs.com/blog/2015/02/five-cardinals-book-stolen-from-participants-mailboxes-at-last-years-synod-on-family/; Also: http://wdtprs.com/blog/2014/10/action-item-book-from-5-cardinals-in-defense-of-marriage-and-tradition/; http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/cardinal-burke-media-hijacking-synod-on-the-family-79760/; https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/synods-chief-organizer-blocked-book-by-top-cardinals-defending-churchs-marr).


WHY DO THEY SEEK TO SILENCE THE CARDINALS, BISHOPS AND PRIESTS WHO ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT WITH POPE FRANCIS?




Behold my doubts as a priest and religious” (Padre Gabrielle Rossi, FAM):
Dear readers, the letter that you find below was sent to me by a priest and religious, belonging to a great congregation present in many countries. It is a significant witness, which brings to light a reality much more diffuse than what might be imagined. (…)
Since last December I was suspended “a divinis” from being the general superior: I can no longer celebrate Mass in public, nor preach, nor confess. I can only celebrate privately. (…) Signed, January 16, 2019 (https://spir-food.blogspot.com/2019/02/p-gabriele-rossi-fam-suspended-divinis.html).




When Saint Paul corrected the first pope Peter and did this publically (Gal 2:11), not privately, what did the first pope of the Catholic Church do? Saint Augustine said that Peter was so humble and so wise that HE ACCEPTED THIS CORRECTION. Peter did not say, ‘You are Paul, you are against me. You are heretical. You are schismatic.’ No, he accepted this with gratitude and thus so should be the Pope in these days.


INTERVIEW - Dutch Cardinal Willem EIJK answers questions on crisis in Church, loss of faith” (May 15, 2019)
May 15, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Cardinal Willem Eijk, archbishop of Utrecht, is at present one of the most outspoken defenders of perennial Catholic teaching in the Church. He has repeatedly asked for “clarity” from Rome and especially from the Pope, be it regarding the interpretation of Amoris laetitia or other points such as intercommunion in the Catholic Mass for some Protestant faithful.


SEIFERT, another victim of the extremely mercifulness of Amoris Laetitia” (September 7, 2017)


Amoris Laetitia, the strong criticism of Professor SEIFERT” (August 16, 2016)
The apostolic exhortation post synod is “mistaken and, in some cases, also objectively heretical”.


The tears of Our Lady over Amoris Laetitia” (June 9, 2016)
The philosopher SEIFERT asks: “How can Jesus and his most holy Mother read and compare these words of the Pope with those of Jesus and his Church without crying?”


All the Reasons of Professor SEIFERT, Fired For Too Much Fidelity to the Church” (September 14, 2017)
The recent removal, by the archbishop of Granada, of the eminent 72-year old Austrian Catholic philosopher Professor Josef Seifert from the Spanish branch of the International Academy of Philosophy founded by Seifert himself in the Principality of Liechtenstein is perhaps the most dramatic legacy of “Amoris Laetitia.” Because it is precisely for having dared to criticize a passage from this document of Pope Francis in the light of “pure logic” that Seifert has been banished.


MÜLLER Out. But the Real Attack Is Against "Veritatis Splendor"”


«The Church today has RENOUNCED TO PREACH THE WHOLE TRUTH» (February 3, 2019)
"Speaking of clerical child abuse while ignoring the fact that over 80% of abuses are homosexual acts, means there is no intent to resolve the issue". "The most serious problem in the Church today is its tendency to compromise with the world and withdraw from proclaiming the whole truth.” Cardinal Gerhard Müller speaks out.


Aleksandr Solženicyn in his Gulag Arcipelago narrates this episode that happened in Russia under Stalin. One day some red big shots of the party asked a group of engineers to make an estimate of how many people could fit into a passenger train car. The engineers diligently did their calculations and consigned the results to the ones in charge. The indignation of the big shots was profoundly aroused. But how is this possible? So few people can travel in a train car? But these engineers do not know that the trains of the beloved mother Russia are the best in the world and that they can thus transport masses of passengers? The results: the engineers were sent to a gulag where they probably died. Their only fault was that, even being good in calculating on paper, they had mistaken to consider in their calculation the communist ideology.
Today the music has not changed. What happens to cardinals, bishops and priests who do not consider and put first the modernist and relativistic ideology today?!?


TAKE COURAGE DEAR BROTHER PRIESTS! Let us pray for each other, in order not to be cowards and phony as the ones politically correct that we see continually on the TV and in politics, and unfortunately everywhere in the Church today. “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Lk 9:62). Jesus, the Truth (Jn 14:6), died for us! Are we ready to reciprocate with our life for Jesus and for the souls entrusted to us? ETERNITY IS A LONG TIME!!! “So everyone who acknowledges me (the Truth) before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men (the Truth, or remains silent), I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 10:32-33)!
